Many industries and businesses use online data rooms to store documents, review and share sensitive documents. The most common use case involves due diligence during M&A deals. Both the sell-side as well potential investors require a safe platform for examining all relevant documentation pertaining to an acquisition. Without such a secure repository, it could take significantly longer to complete the transaction and could even end up destroying the deal.
A secure virtual room allows attorneys, lawyers, external and internal auditors, regulators and other stakeholders to work using an integrated interface. This saves time and resources and gives transparency to all parties. It’s also a great tool for auditing corporate practices and compliance. Many vendors offer tools for reporting that provide an overview of all transactions in the online deal room, which will help increase efficiency.
The most effective virtual data rooms allow for easy collaboration and convenient accessibility via mobile devices or web browser. They come with features that make it simple to set permissions for individual users or groups as well as to watermark all pages of documents, and to remotely revoke access during a transaction to stop disclosure. In addition to the user-friendly interface, the top VDR vendor should provide an open pricing policy and top-quality customer service.
